Bonds are a type of fixed-income investment in which an investor loans money to an entity, typically a corporation or government, for a defined period of time at a fixed interest rate. In return, the entity promises to repay the initial investment, or principal, at the bond's maturity date, along with the interest payments agreed upon. Bonds are considered a relatively low-risk investment compared to stocks, and they provide a predictable stream of income through regular interest payments. They are commonly used to diversify an investment portfolio and provide stability, as their value is less susceptible to market fluctuations. Bonds are traded on the bond market, and their prices are influenced by factors such as interest rates, credit quality, and the bond's maturity date.
